Ruth Downes noticed a Chestnut-backed Chickadee on her hummingbird feeder, drinking sugar water.

And Adrian Bennett found a tiny Sierran Treefrog sitting on her nectar feeder. We think the frog may have been attracted to the moisture or perhaps small insects caught in the sugar water on the lid.

Then Thane Frivold's dog, Moon, alerted him to a masked bandit at his feeder one night. Here is the video of the Raccoon obviously relished the sweet treat.

Who knew hummingbird feeders were popular with such diverse animals! Thanks to Ruth and Adrian for allowing me to share their photos, and to Thane for allowing me to share his video, with you here.

Today, Wednesday, is one of the most beautiful days of the year. It really feels like Autumn today, with gentle breezes, blue skies and mild temps.

Thane Frivold put up a nectar feeder at his Sea Ranch home, expecting to see hummingbirds. Well, he did get lots of Anna's hummingbirds visiting the feeder, but he also had several Acorn Woodpeckers visit too!

 

This female Acorn Woodpecker is using her long tongue to get a sweet treat!

Here's a video showing some of the action.

Thanks to Thane for allowing me to share his photos and video with you here.

Foggy this morning with brilliant sunshine in the afternoon. Mild temps, which is nice!

Thane Frivold sent in the first photo of Douglas Iris in bloom, always a happy sighting.

On a trip down Highway One yesterday, I saw many California Poppies beginning their long bloom.

Thanks to Thane for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

We have rain late Friday. It's been a while since we've seen the wet stuff, so it is very welcome.
